LastFM is a social music site

LastFM seems very interesting. It’s a kind of social music site where users can share what they’re listening to (not the music itself, just the info) and in that way interesting info is gathered. E.g. The popularity of music is monitored, and you can find similar artists to artists you like. I’m gonna keep an eye on it, and come back some time with an update on how good it is. Here’s a link to the LastFM user charts: http://www.last.fm/charts/

Starting programs with high priority in XP

Start programs in high priority in XP with start “<program_name>” /HIGH “<program_path>”   For example, starting Windows Media Player with High Prio: start "WMP" /HIGH "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"   To make practical use of this command, put it in a batch file, make a shortcut to this file, then modify the shortcut’s icon to the icon of your program – sorted!   Notes -           A batch file is simply a text file but instead with extension BAT, e.g. start_wmplayer_high.bat -           The <program_name> part of the command above can be any name you want   Why? you ask.. -           Well, on my work PC I run java programs, and whenever you start them up my anti?virus goes skitz, maxing out the CPU, and temporarily rendering Win Media Player useless, which makes the music that’s playing stutter like hell! -           An alternative is to open Task Manager, and change the priority of the wmplayer.e

Get these Firefox plugins!

Well, you can get which ever ones you want of course! But I want a way to easily synchronize my extensions across browsers. There’s already a plugin that lets you back up your plugins I hear you say? Indeed, but you need to have 7zip installed and that ain’t possible on my work PC. I’m gonna keep this posting up to date with all my Firefox plugins, and I'll soon be putting links here too so you (and I) can directly install/download the extensions. Anyway, I'll start with this screenshot:

It's another DnB tune..

I loved the sound of this Ed Solo & Brokie tune I just heard: Ed Solo & Brockie - System Check (Generation Dub Remix) (Undiluted) Switch an email account to Yahoo! Mail, you could win FIFA World Cup tickets .

Wiley "Gangsterz" is heavy

Another hot tune that should get you boppin' as they say in London, is Wiley "Gangsterz" (Eskiboy Recordings & Adamantium) Listen to "Gangsterz" Buy "Gangsterz"

Hot Cakes - 'Out of Space' (single) (Rat Records)

This tune is also a real fatty. There's a super bad-ass drop that makes you wanna raise y'self outta your seat (if you're sitting). Hot Cakes - 'Out of Space' (single) (Rat Records)

Matrix & Futurebound - American Beauty [White Label]

Like this DnB tune! It’s nice and trancy, and is in the 4 th April 1Xtra DnB chart. You can have a little listen (poor quality tho) Matrix & Futurebound ­- American Beauty [White Label]

Wanted: Kanye West - Jesus Walks (Zinc remix)

Just heard this tune on Annie Mac’s show on BBC Radio 1. Nice remix. Kanye West - Jesus Walks (Zinc remix)
